I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I prefer him doing it like this, and you should too. He's clearing the air. I don't blame you for being skeptical of his intentions, but he's saying all the right things. Leave him alone. And go see Emancipation coming out on Dec 9, 2022.
